After three months of absence, Stade Rennais took over the field against the Genoa, an important match test before the Ligue 1 took over against Marseille. The team, with some changes in composition, including the absence of Valentin Rongier and the tenure of Przemyslaw Frankowski, started timidly. Despite a lack of dynamism in the first half, the Rennais managed to gain the advantage thanks to a goal by Mousa Al-Tamari, launched in depth by Fabian Rieder. Djouai Cisse then doubled the bet with a beautiful corner shot, demonstrating the offensive potential of this young midfielder for the coming season.

However, the Genoa reacted quickly, narrowing the gap thanks to Ruslan Malinovskyi shortly after Djouai Cisse’s goal. The story has an ironic twist: it was Leo Ostigard, the other player lent by Rennes to the Genoa, who equalized in the last minutes of the match on a corner. This match is an intense preparatory test, but also highlights the need for Rennes to show more strength and dynamism before the important match against Marseille.

This match test highlights the challenges of the end of mercato for Stade Rennais. After a “degreasing” operation, the main objective is to reinforce the team’s attack. Djouai Cisse’s performance underscores the importance of moving towards offensive reinforcements for the coming season, in order to compete with teams like Marseille, which have also reinforced their attack. Preparation for the match against Marseille will therefore be crucial to assess progress and adjust the team’s offensive strategy.
